I was just wondering if it was possible to connect the utec via a cat5 cable and a cat5-to-serial adapter, they make them... is it possible, does anyone know?

Im getting a laptop for school soon, and want to be able to tune my utec with it, but i dont want my choice to be limited by if the laptop has a serial port or not... and most of the ones ive looked at lately, do not...

i know here at work our computers have serial ports, and we use a Cat5 to serial port adapter on them for the ERALink software... hmm... can someone shed some light on this?

Technically, you can use a CAT-5 cable to make your own serial cable using proper DB9 connectors on both ends... That's what you seem to be doing at work. But if your laptop has no serial port in the first place, how's this going to help?
